WLED MCP Server

01 · What it does

• Turn on/off and set brightness (0-255) and RGB color
• List and set effects with speed and intensity, list palettes
• List and activate presets
• Read device info and state, or send raw JSON state

02 · Install

$ git clone https://github.com/mrkprdo/wled_mcp.git
$ cd wled_mcp
$ pip install -e .
$ export WLED_HOST=192.168.1.100

1. Replace 192.168.1.100 with your WLED device's IP; every tool also takes an optional host
2. README recommends backing up your WLED config and presets first, since tools can overwrite them
3. python examples/test_server.py checks the connection
